🌿 A Day Away, A Welcome Home 🐴

Yesterday, I took a rare and cherished day off for my annual pilgrimage to - a soul filling tradition shared with my dear friend ✨

Today, back at the yard, Corka was keen to find out where I'd been. Horses ask questions not with words but with touch and scent.

Once the silent assessment was over, he leaned in to 'share air's - the horses version of a handshake or perhaps a hug. A gentle gesture that says ' You're one of us. Welcome home' ❤️

🌟 Meet Freya, the newest member of our Forging Futures family! 🌟

With a little help from her mum, Freya does an amazing job helping us care for the ponies — and clearly, they adore her just as much as she loves them! 🐴💕

Here’s what Freya has to say:

🗨️ “When I'm around the Forging Futures ponies, I feel good. Corka follows me around all the time and it's so funny! Lupin is a little furry, cuddly fluff ball and so sweet. Huxley is really funny when it comes to the water buffet – he just shakes his head in it! Dundee also follows me everywhere and chases the others away like he's trying to protect me. They’re all so cute and cuddly. I love them so much!” 💖

We’re so lucky to have Freya (and her beautiful bond with the ponies) as part of our community! 🥰🐎

🌿 Why Finding Your Tribe Matters 🐴

This Community History Month, we’re reflecting on what community really means.

It’s more than just where you live or who you know—it’s about connection, support, and belonging. When we feel seen and safe, we become more resilient and more ourselves.

At Forging Futures, our herd (yes, the horses too!) creates a space where healing happens through connection—not isolation. You don’t have to carry everything alone. 💛

I think this quote summarises the power of Equine Assisted Learning beautifully.

Our ponies do not have opinions, prejudices or biases (conscious or otherwise).

They show us how to create social bonds that make us feel safe, how to manage relationships so we feel connected and how to be authentic to our true selves.

That is how real change that lasts is created.

If you want your future to be happier, healthier or simply just brighter get in touch today to see how we can help.

Forging Futures is a family affair ❤

On , we wanted to share with you the fabulous females behind Forging Futures.

Founder, Michelle Williams, is delighted that both her daughters are such a big part of the project.

Freya, her eldest daughter was her inspiration. "When Freya's struggles to manage her neurodivergence in a neurotypical world led to a mental health crisis, I searched for a way to support her which would not only give her the space she needed to come to terms with what was going on, but also help her develop the skills she would need to navigate a neurotypical world in the future. I couldn't find what I wanted so I decided to build it myself and so Forging Futures was born."

Erin, Michelle's youngest daughter, is a keen horsewoman and helps to make sure the Forging Futures herd are happy and healthy and able to support clients to overcome challenges and find their best selves. Erin says "I love what my mum is doing with Forging Futures because it is fascinating how much she helps people who come to us when they need support."

Do you live in or near Steeple Ashton, Edington or Bratton?

Do you WFH all or most of the time?

Do you like hanging out with ponies in the great outdoors?

Would you like to expand your professional networks with local, like minded individuals?

I'm looking for 4 volunteers to take part in a 4 week trial of a new group aimed at reducing isolation for WFH workers, whilst also expanding professional networks.

In my 20 plus years as an accountant, I have often coached clients to think about what it is that makes them different, why would I buy from them rather than someone else 🧐

When I set up my accountancy practice, I really struggled to work out what my USP was. But when I set up Forging Futures it was easy - the differences is the horses !!! 🐴💕💕

They are the sole reason this work can be so life changing - but how exactly do they do it? 🧐

1. They are masters of mindfulness. They don't dwell on the past or fear the future, they live purely in the moment.

2. They rely on their intuition and trust their instincts and encourage us to do the same.

3. They hold up a mirror to our emotions and energy, providing a unique opportunity for increasing self awareness.

Today, on , I'm thinking about the impact of a diagnosis on the patient, but also on those who love and care for them.

It is something that has touched my family personally. On Thursday, my youngest daughter turns 13. 13 years ago, I rang my Mum, exhausted but elated, to tell her she had a new granddaughter. She didn't answer. Later that day, I found out it was because at that exact moment she was receiving a breast cancer diagnosis from her consult.

Thankfully my Mum is now well, but the events of that day still have an impact on all of us.

When unexpected, traumatic events happen to us our brain goes into auto pilot and fires up neural pathways that are designed to keep us safe in these situations. However, when the emotions have subsided and the trauma is no longer a threat, these neural pathways, which influence both our emotions and physical actions can, stay in play, and do not serve us in our new normal.

Our 121 coaching sessions provide a unique opportunity for you to pause and understand how your neural pathways are firing, with the help of our non judgemental and ever loving team of ponies. With my guidance, you can then work out what might need to change and how to do it.

If you feel like you are just surviving, not thriving, get in touch today and take the first step towards a happier, healthier you. 💕
